Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201210029802.6, filed on Feb. 10, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates to the communications field, and in particular, to a method, a device and a system for radio frequency device pairing.
- With the development of the electronic technologies, a control means for an electronic product gradually develops from infrared radiation (Infrared Radiation, IR for short) control to radio frequency (Radio Frequency, RF for short) control. The RF control has many advantages, such as a high flexibility in operation, a bidirectional characteristic, a high flexibility in design, and a high data transmission rate. The RF4CE alliance and the ZigBee alliance (ZigBee Alliance) cooperate and jointly develop an RF4CE (Radio Frequency for Consumer Electronics, radio frequency for consumer electronics) technical standard based on ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 protocols, that is, a radio frequency standard for control of a household appliance. An RF4CE technology has merits of improving operational reliability, increasing a transmission distance and an anti-interference performance of a signal, making a signal be transferred without being influenced by an obstacle, and so on.
- When an RF device, for example, an RF remote controller, is used, a paring operation between the RF remote controller and a controlled device needs to be performed. In the prior art, when a pairing button is not disposed on the controlled device, after the RF remote controller and the controlled device are paired, it is required to use a private message to confirm a pairing result.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , an existing pairing process between an RF remote controller and a controlled device includes: - S101: After receiving a pairing instruction generated by pressing a button by a user, the RF remote controller sends a discovery request message to the controlled device.
- S102: The controlled device returns a discovery response message to the RF remote controller.
- S103: The RF remote controller sends a pairing request message to the controlled device.
- S104: The RF remote controller and the controlled device exchange keys.
- S105: The controlled device returns a pairing response message to the RF remote controller.
- S106: The controlled device sends a start confirmation request to the RF remote controller, and displays interface information to the user, where the interface information is prompt information that gives a prompt about a button required to be entered by the user.
- S107: The user presses a corresponding button on the RF remote controller according to the interface information displayed by the controlled device, and the RF remote controller sends corresponding user button information to the controlled device.
- S109: The controlled device returns a confirmation result to the RF remote controller.
- In the pairing process shown in
FIG. 1 , pairing is performed between the RF remote controller and the controlled device through steps S101 to S105. The discovery request message, the discovery response message, the pairing request message and the pairing response message in steps S101 to S105 are all standard messages in an RF4CE standard pairing process. The pairing result is confirmed between the RF remote controller and the controlled device through steps S106 to S109, and the start confirmation request, the user button information and the confirmation result in steps S106 to S109 are all private messages, which do not meet a specification requirement of the RF4CE standard. - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, a device and a system for radio frequency device pairing, through which pairing result confirmation which meets an RF4CE specification requirement can be performed between radio frequency devices.

All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
- A method for radio frequency device pairing provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown in
FIG. 2 . The method includes the following steps. - S21: After receiving a paring instruction entered by a user, a first radio frequency device sends a discovery request message to at least one second radio frequency device.
- After receiving the paring instruction entered by the user, the first radio frequency device sends the discovery request message to the at least one second radio frequency device in a broadcasting manner. If in a predetermined period of time the first radio frequency device does not receive a response from any second radio frequency device, the first radio frequency device may repeatedly send the discovery request message. There may be one or more second radio frequency devices. The first radio frequency device may be an RF remote controller, and the second radio frequency device may be a set top box.
- S22: The first radio frequency device receives a discovery response message returned by the at least one second radio frequency device.
- S23: The first radio frequency device sends a first pairing request message to a target second radio frequency device in the at least one second radio frequency device.
- S24: The first radio frequency device receives a first pairing response message returned by the target second radio frequency device.
- After receiving the first pairing request message sent by the first radio frequency device, the target second radio frequency device returns the first paring response message to the first radio frequency device, and displays interface information on a display interface, where the interface information is prompt information that gives a prompt about a button required to be entered by the user in a subsequent confirmation process.
- S25: After receiving a button instruction entered by the user according to the interface information displayed by the target second radio frequency device, the first radio frequency device sends a second paring request message to the target second radio frequency device, where the second pairing request message contains button information corresponding to the button instruction.
- After receiving the first pairing request message sent by the first radio frequency device, the target second radio frequency device returns the first paring response message to the first radio frequency device, and displays the interface information on the display interface to give a prompt about the button required to be entered by the user, and the user enters the specified button according to the prompt information.
- S26: The first radio frequency device receives a second pairing response message which is returned by the target second radio frequency device and contains a confirmation result.
- The confirmation result contained in the second pairing response message can indicate whether a result of matching the button information with the interface information is success or failure.
- S27: After the first radio frequency device receives the second pairing response message which contains the confirmation result, and if the confirmation result indicates that the button information and the interface information are successfully matched, the first radio frequency device exchanges keys with the target second radio frequency device, thereby completing paring with the target second radio frequency device.
- Further, after the first radio frequency device exchanges the keys with the target second radio frequency device, the first radio frequency device may prompt a user end that pairing succeeds, for example, the first radio frequency device may prompt, through an indicator light on it, the user end that the pairing succeeds, and may also not prompt the user end that the pairing succeeds, which is not limited in the present invention.
- In the method for radio frequency device pairing provided in the embodiment of the present invention, pairing request messages (including the first and second pairing request messages) and pairing response messages (including the first and second pairing response messages), which meet the RF4CE specification, are used to request the pairing and confirm a pairing result, which avoids the use of a private message in the prior art and is beneficial to the standardization of a radio frequency device product. For a radio frequency device without a pairing button, pairing security can also be improved.
- A method for radio frequency device pairing provided in another embodiment of the present invention is shown in
FIG. 3 . The method includes the following steps. - S31: A second radio frequency device receives a discovery request message sent by a first radio frequency device.
- There may be one or more second radio frequency devices. When there are multiple second radio frequency devices, the multiple second radio frequency devices may simultaneously receive the discovery request message sent by the first radio frequency device.
- S32: The second radio frequency device returns a discovery response message to the first radio frequency device.
- Specifically, after receiving the discovery request message sent by the first radio frequency device, at least one second radio frequency device returns a discovery response message to the first radio frequency device.
- S33: After receiving a first pairing request message sent by the first radio frequency device, the second radio frequency device displays interface information, where the interface information is prompt information that gives a prompt about a button required to be entered by a user.
- Specifically, after receiving the first pairing request message sent by the first radio frequency device, a target second radio frequency device in the at least one second radio frequency device displays interface information which contains prompt information that gives a prompt about a button required to be entered by the user in a subsequent confirmation process. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second radio frequency device in steps S33 to S37 refers to the target second radio frequency device in the at least one second radio frequency device. When the first radio frequency device only receives a discovery response message returned by one second radio frequency device, the second radio frequency device is the target second radio frequency device. When the first radio frequency device receives discovery response messages returned by multiple second radio frequency devices, the target second radio frequency device is a second radio frequency device selected by the first radio frequency device by matching a manufacturer number of a second radio frequency device and a list of capabilities of a radio frequency device supported by the second radio frequency device, where the manufacturer number and the list are carried in each discovery response message, and the selected second radio frequency device has a manufacturer number and a list which match the first radio frequency device, and returns a discovery response message with strongest strength.
- Further, after receiving the first pairing request message sent by the first radio frequency device, the target second radio frequency device displays the interface information which contains the prompt information that gives the prompt about the button required to be entered by the user in the subsequent confirmation process. The confirmation process is a part of a whole pairing process corresponding to the pairing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention. The interface information indicates that the user has already started the confirmation in the pairing process, and completes the confirmation process by performing steps S34 to S37. By starting the confirmation in the pairing process of the radio frequency devices and completing the confirmation process, mistaken pairing and an incorrect operation may be avoided in the pairing process of the radio frequency devices. In this way, a pairing flow is accelerated, and unnecessary operations are reduced.
- S34: The second radio frequency device returns a first pairing response message to the first radio frequency device.
- Further, the first pairing response message returned by the second radio frequency device to the first radio frequency device may contain relevant information corresponding to the interface information, and may also not contain the relevant information, which is not limited in the present invention.
- The two actions of returning the first pairing response message in step S34 and displaying the interface information in step S33 both occur after the second radio frequency device receives the first paring request message sent by the first radio frequency device. The two actions may occur successively, and may also occur simultaneously. A time sequence of the two actions is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
- S35: The second radio frequency device receives a second pairing request message sent by the first radio frequency device. The second pairing request message contains button information corresponding to a button instruction entered by the user according to the interface information displayed by the second radio frequency device, where the interface information is the prompt information that gives the prompt about the button required to be entered by the user in the subsequent confirmation process. The first radio frequency device receives the first pairing response message returned by the second radio frequency device, and after receiving the button instruction entered by the user according to the interface information displayed by the second radio frequency device, sends the second pairing request message to the second radio frequency device, where the second pairing request message contains the button information corresponding to the button instruction.
- S36: After the second pairing request message which contains the button information corresponding to the button instruction entered by the user according to the interface information is received, and if it is determined that the button information and the interface information are successfully matched, the second radio frequency device returns, to the first radio frequency device, a second pairing response message which contains a confirmation result, where the confirmation result indicates that the button information and the interface information are successfully matched.
- The confirmation result contained in the second pairing response message can indicate whether a result of matching the button information with the interface information is success or failure.
- S37: The second radio frequency device exchanges keys with the first radio frequency device, and prompts a user end that pairing succeeds.
- In the method for radio frequency device pairing provided in the embodiment of the present invention, pairing request messages (including the first and second pairing request messages) and pairing response messages (including the first and second pairing response messages), which meet the RF4CE specification, are used to request the pairing and confirm a pairing result, which is beneficial to the standardization of a radio frequency device product. For a radio frequency device without a pairing button, the pairing security can also be improved.
- As shown in
FIG. 4 , in a method for radio frequency device pairing provided in yet another embodiment of the present invention, an RF remote controller (a first radio frequency device) and a set top box (a second radio frequency device) are taken as an example for illustration. The set top box is connected to a television set, and the television set is used for displaying an interface. The method includes the following steps. - S401: A user presses a button which is for pairing and is on the RF remote controller, and after receiving a pairing instruction entered by the user, the RF remote controller sends a discovery request message to the set top box.
- The RF remote controller may send the discovery request message in a broadcasting manner. In this way, multiple controlled devices within a certain scope may all receive the discovery request message. If in a predetermined period of time the RF remote controller does not receive a response returned by a controlled device, the RF remote controller may repeatedly send the discovery request message.
- Optionally, the controlled device may be a set top box.
- In this embodiment, it is firstly assumed that the controlled device is only one set top box, and the set top box is a target set top box.
- S402: After receiving the discovery request message sent by the RF remote controller, the target set top box returns a discovery response message to the RF remote controller. Specifically, after the target set top box receives the discovery request message sent by the RF remote controller, the target set top box returns the discovery response message to the RF remote controller, so as to respond to the received discovery request message. The discovery response message sent by the target set top box may not be repeatedly sent, which is not limited in the present invention.
- S403: After receiving the discovery response message returned by the target set top box, the RF remote controller sends a first pairing request message to the target set top box.
- Further, when multiple devices that may be paired with the RF remote controller exist in a certain scope, after receiving the discovery request message broadcast by the RF remote controller, each device may return a discovery response message to the RF remote controller. When receiving the discovery response messages returned by the multiple devices, and by matching a manufacturer number of a device and a list of capabilities of a RF remote controller supported by the device, where the manufacturer number and the list are carried in the discovery response message returned by each device, the RF remote controller may select devices, which have manufacturer numbers of the devices matching the RF remote controller, as candidate devices, and then from the candidate devices, select a device, which has a list matching the capability of the RF remote controller and has a discovery response message with strongest signal strength, as a target device for pairing, and perform steps S403 to S408.
- S404: After receiving the first pairing request message sent by the RF remote controller, the target set top box displays interface information through the television set, where the interface information is prompt information that gives a prompt about a button required to be entered by the user: and returns a first pairing response message to the RF remote controller.
- In this step, the television set may display button information which is required to be entered by the user through the RF remote controller and is used for performing matching confirmation, and so on.
- Further, in this step, after returning the first pairing response message to the RF remote controller, the target set top box may start a timer, and if a second pairing request message which is sent by the RF remote controller and contains button information corresponding to a button instruction is not received in a predetermined period of time, exits a pairing process. In this way, the robustness of a system may be increased, and an incorrect operation of the user may be effectively processed.
- S405: After receiving the first pairing response message returned by the target set top box, and after receiving a button instruction entered by the user according to the interface information displayed by the television set, the RF remote controller sends a second pairing request message to the target set top box, where the second pairing request message contains button information corresponding to the button instruction.
- Specifically, after seeing button information displayed by the television set, the user presses a corresponding button instruction, where the button instruction may be a number button, a direction button, a function button or the like on the remote controller. After receiving the button instruction entered by the user according to a display interface of the television set, the RF remote controller sends, to the target set top box, the second pairing request message which contains the button information corresponding to the button instruction.
- Further, in this step, when the RF remote controller sends, to the target set top box, the second pairing request message which contains the button information corresponding to the button instruction, the RF remote controller and the target set top box may use a simple window mechanism at a link layer to ensure sequential reliable transmission of the button information, so as to prevent the occurrence of excessive abnormal situations.
- In addition, in this step, after receiving the first pairing response message returned by the target set top box, the RF controller may also start a timer, and if in a predetermined period of time the RF remote controller does not receive the button instruction entered by the user, exits the pairing process. In this way, the robustness of the system may be increased, and an incorrect operation of the user may be effectively processed.
- S406: After receiving the second pairing request message which is sent by the RF remote controller and contains the button information corresponding to the button instruction, the target set top box performs matching confirmation on the button information. If the target set top box determines that the button information and the interface information are successfully matched, a second pairing response message which contains a confirmation success result is returned to the RF remote controller, where the confirmation success result indicates that the button information and the interface information are successfully matched; and step S407 is performed, where the confirmation success result may be a successful confirmation message.
- When the target set top box determines that the button information and the interface information are successfully matched, a second pairing response message which contains a confirmation result is returned to the RF remote controller, where the confirmation result indicates that the button information and the interface information are successfully matched, and may be referred to as a confirmation success result.
-
FIG. 4 only schematically shows a situation of successful confirmation. When the confirmation fails, steps S406 and S407 in the drawing may be substituted with the following content: If the target set top box determines that the button information and the interface information are not matched, a second pairing response message which contains a confirmation failure message is returned to the RF remote controller, and step S408 is performed. - In addition, if the target set top box receives, after step S403, the first pairing request message sent by the RF remote controller, and if it is determined that pairing information of the RF remote controller is already stored in the target set top box, a second pairing response message which contains a confirmation result is directly returned to the RF remote controller, where the confirmation result indicates that pairing succeeds; keys are exchanged with the RF remote controller; and a user end is prompted that the pairing succeeds. In this way, steps S404 and S405 may be omitted, thereby accelerating the pairing process.
- S407: The RF remote controller exchanges the keys with the target set top box. After exchanging the keys, the target set top box may prompt the user end that the pairing succeeds. For example, information prompting that the pairing succeeds is displayed by the television set connected to the target set top box. After the RF remote controller receives the second pairing response message which is returned by the target set top box and contains the confirmation result, and if the confirmation result indicates that the button information and the interface information are successfully matched, the RF remote controller exchanges the keys with the target set top box, thereby completing the pairing with the target set top box.
- It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, after the RF remote controller exchanges the keys with the target set top box, the RF remote controller may prompt the user end that the pairing succeeds, and for example, prompt, through an indicator light on the remote controller, the user end that the pairing succeeds; and may also not prompt the user end that the pairing succeeds, which is not limited in the present invention.
- In addition, after the RF remote controller sends the first pairing request message to the target set top box, if the target set top box determines that the pairing information of the RF remote controller is already stored, the target set top box directly returns, to the RF remote controller, the second pairing response message which contains the confirmation result, where the confirmation result indicates that the pairing succeeds, and the RF remote controller exchanges the keys with the target set top box, and prompts the user end that the pairing succeeds. After the RF remote controller and the target set top box successfully perform pairing once, the pairing information corresponding to the RF remote controller may be stored in the target set top box. Subsequently, every time the RF remote controller and the target set top box perform pairing, after the RF remote controller sends the first pairing request message to the target set top box, if the target set top box finds that the pairing information of the RF remote controller is already stored, the second pairing response message which contains the confirmation result indicating that the pairing succeeds is directly sent to the remote controller, the keys are exchanged with the remote controller, and the user end is prompted that the pairing succeeds, thereby simplifying the pairing process. The pairing information of the RF remote controller includes information such as address information and a pairing reference of the RF remote controller, and may further include other corresponding pairing information. As the pairing information of the RF remote controller in the embodiment of the present invention is pairing information in the prior art, details are not described again in the embodiment of the present invention. In this scenario, the pairing process is simplified, and this scenario may occur in every pairing process of the RF remote controller and the target set top box after the RF remote controller and the target set top box successfully perform pairing once.
- It should be noted that the RF remote controller sends, to the set top box and according to the interface information displayed by the television set, the second pairing request message which contains the button information corresponding to the button instruction entered by the user according to the interface information, and after receiving the second pairing request message which is sent by the RF remote controller and contains the button information corresponding to the button instruction entered by the user according to the interface information, the set top box returns, to the RF remote controller, the second pairing response message which contains the confirmation success result. In the process, sending may be repeated several times before the set top box determines that a sent confirmation result indicates that the button information is correct. Information sending between each other is not stopped until the set top box determines that the sent confirmation result indicates that the button information and the interface information are successfully matched.
- S408: After receiving the second pairing response message which is returned by the target set top box and contains the confirmation failure message, the RF remote controller stops exchanging keys, and exits the pairing process.
- It should be noted that the RF remote controller and the set top box are taken as an example for illustration in this embodiment, and the method provided in this embodiment is not limited to it, and is also applicable to a pairing process between other radio frequency devices, such as radio frequency cluster machines.
- In the method for radio frequency device pairing provided in the embodiment of the present invention, pairing request messages (including the first and second pairing request messages) and pairing response messages (including the first and second pairing response messages), which meet the RF4CE specification, are used to request the pairing and confirm a pairing result, which avoids the use of a private message in the prior art and is beneficial to the standardization of a radio frequency device product. For a radio frequency device without a pairing button, pairing security can also be improved.
